LONG NIGHT WITH LITTLE SLEEP

Just an update on Michael this morning. Talked with some last night on our way to the Emergency Room about 7:15pm. Michael became very weak and fatigued starting about 5:00pm yesterday and went downhill from there. He went to bed about 6:00pm so I knew something was brewing inside his body. Took his temp about 7:00pm and his temperature was 100.3 and then again at 7:15pm and it was 101.1. That is the signal to call the doctor and go to the emergency room. In about 3 minutes Dr. Ravi called us and advised me to take him to the emergency room. Got there about 7:40 and they took his vitals and such and did a blood culture on him. His fever got to 101.6 before it started coming down from the medicine they gave him. We left the hospital about 4:38 this morning and arrived at my brother-in-laws about 4:55 am. Not much traffic in Houston those hours. Just hoped and prayed I didn't meet a drunk or someone in the parking garage. Bless Michael's heart, he didn't want me pushing him to the car in a wheelchair....guess he wanted to look strong in case we encountered someone. Probably couldn't have knocked over a butterfly.....but he was my protection. God is good. This will halt our attempt to come home this weekend for certain as we have to go to the hospital each day until Tuesday to have them check his lungs and blood work. Oh the diagnosis from last night.....he has fluid on his lungs........couldn't conclude for certain that it was pneumonia, but probably is......Keep on Keeping on with you prayers....we are going to win this battle through the rough times as well.....maybe this was God's way of saying he wasn't strong enough to make the trip home and this is where He wants at this time.
Love to all,
Terri and Michael
